2012 Mercedes C-Klasse Coupe and SLK Roadster Rock the Runway

As the 2012 CLS63 AMG Mercedes-Benz Fashion Force car is patrolling the streets of Miami, looking for stylesetters, two other new tri-pointed star branded vehicles are heating up the scene at the Fashion Week Swim events. We are talking about the 2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Klasse Coupe, which makes it Southern debut at The Raleigh, and the 2012 SLK Roadster on 18th street off Collins Avenue in South Beach.

Taken separately, the C-Klasse Coupe offers a comprehensive level of driver support and protection including a number of driver assistance systems, ranging from ATTENTION ASSIST drowsiness detection to optional LANE KEEPING Assist.

The vehicle’s new telematics keep the driver connected with standard wireless Bluetooth, USB interface, SIRIUS weather information and destination search via Google.  There is a choice of three models, including the powerful C63 AMG.

As for the SLK Roadster, this comes with theATTENTION ASSIST drowsiness detection system as standard. Mercedes-Benz is also the world's first automotive manufacturer to offer the innovative panoramic vario-roof with MAGIC SKY CONTROL as optional equipment on the SLK. With this innovation, the transparent glass roof of the SLK can be darkened in a matter of seconds at the touch of a button.

"Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim attendees can always count on seeing unique swimsuit style concepts for the first time that represent designer labels from around the world," said Lisa Holladay, manager of brand experience marketing for Mercedes-Benz USA.  "It sets the stage to premier our latest designs like the all-new 2012 C-Class Coupe to those on the cutting-edge of fashion."
